Fire and police are paid for through taxes by the feds or the state. Not sure which down there. Health care can be too.

Now that it's under the control of the Republicans you've changed you tune a bit. Have you suddenly realised that no health care system is perfect? But the one...

Kbot Quote There is a lot that I like about Obamacare. But, here's the issue - there is still all those middlemen in between that will do their best to make sure that they get their pound of flesh.
